Dennis Chamberlain received a B.A. degree in Sculpture in the late 70’s and a M.F.A. degree in Art, (metalsmithing), in the mid 90’s, both from San Diego State University. He taught at several colleges in Colorado including Metropolitan State College of Denver where I was head of the foundations program and, for a couple of years, the sculpture program. In 2003 he headed for Maui, Hawaii and he focused then on making art. Dennis work revolves around the interplay between light, color, and form. He utilizes dynamic patterns and intense color combinations with the intent to draw the viewer in for closer inspection. Up close the macro view gives way to intricate designs and complex interactions between layers of colors, their saturations, and intensities. His artwork has been exhibited internationally and throughout the United States.
